Application filed May 7,1921. Serial No. 467,629.

T 0 all 10 hom it may concern a I Be it known that I, SAMUEL DUBERSTEIN, a citizen of the United StatesjofAmerica, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Caps or Hats, of Which'the fol lowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to caps, hats, or other head-gear and has for its object to equip the same with means whereby articles such as licenses, cards, time tables, scores on base ball games, memorandums, bills and also other articles such as cigars or the like may be conveniently carried therein.

The means may consist simply of a pocket or pockets stitched or otherwise fixed to the inner face of the top of the cap or hat or to any other suitable place therein, or may consist of gripping or clamping members provided therein to conveniently receive and securely hold the article in position without the possibility for the article to drop out from the cap or hat whenthe latter is removed.

My invention will be more fully understood by reference to the accompanying drawing in which similar reference characters denote corresponding parts and in which Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view of a cap equipped with pockets; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on line 22 0f Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 33 of Fig. 1.

Referring more specifically to the wconstruction shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, a denotes a mans cap of the usual construction andformed with a usualinner lining b. The lining iscut out longitudinally relative to the hat or cap to form a longitudinal V recess a in which is inserted a strip 10 eX-' tending throughout the length of; said recess'and which may be folded upon itself at opposite ends as at 10 or may have attached to it separate pieces to. form opposite pockets 11. The longitudinal edges of this strip 10 are stitched at 10 to the down wardly folded corresponding longitudinal" edges 72. of thejlining b. The pockets 11 may preferably be spaced apart to facilitate the insertion of the ends of a card into the opposite pockets and also to forma space 10 through which matter printed or written on a card will on removal of the hat or cap be exposed to the View thereby elimipocket can be read without removing the a V 2. In a cap or hat, an inner lining cut out to form a recess, and a strip of flexible material inserted into said recess and folded upon itself longitudinally in opposite directions to form opposite pockets, the edges of said strip being stitched to those of the recess.

In testimony whereof I aflix mysignature in presence of two witnesses. 1 7 SAMUEL DUBERSTEIN. Witnesses: V MAX D ORDMANN, JosnrHT. MoMAHoN.
